I was lucky enough to have a friend lend me her copy of this book when I got engaged a few months back. She told me that it was super helpful for her when she was planning her wedding, and it might help me too. I've flipped through it a few times, and it's already been really useful in answering questions I have about planning my wedding. It is inclusive, not focusing on one way of doing things (for example, it talks about Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform customs and traditions), which I really appreciated. I also really like the explanations of certain things (like the chuppah, breaking of the glass, etc.) - I plan to use this as a resource for quick descriptions of different components of the wedding when I have to make programs for it, and also to refer family/friends to if they have any questions as we get planning. Overall, definitely a must for anyone planning a Jewish wedding! ( )

Diamant's guide is helpful to Jews by birth and Jews by birth alike in planning a meaningful wedding ceremony. As well she has suggestions for same sex weddings and mixed religion weddings. There is pretty much something for everyone who wants to incorporate Jewish customs into their ceremony in this book. ( )

The Definitive, Completely Up-to-Date Guide to Planning a Jewish Wedding

Since its original publication in 1986, The New Jewish Wedding has become required reading, assigned to engaged couples by Conservative, Reform, and Reconstruc-tionist rabbis alike. In this new revision, Anita Diamant, one of the most respected writers of guides to Jewish life, continues to offer step-by-step guidance to planning the ceremony and the party that follows -- from hiring a rabbi and wording the invitation to organizing a processional and hiring a caterer. She also includes:

A new chapter focusing on converts, non-Jews, and same-sex couples Essential Web sites All new art, with examples of ketubot, invitations, and other wedding paraphernalia New poems and new translations of the seven wedding blessings

Complete, authoritative, and indispensable, The New Jewish Wedding is a must-have resource for anyone who wants a wedding that combines spiritual meaning and joyous celebration.
